Bears' O-line holds up against blitz
On Monday, what stood out about the Bears' performance on Sunday is the pass protection held up both in terms of recognition and execution against an aggressive, accomplished blitzing team. Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton sent more than four...

For the first time since the 1985 season, the Bears landed two defensive linemen in the Pro Bowl as Julius Peppers and Henry Melton were selected as all-stars. Peppers led the defense with 111/2 sacks, his most since joining the club in 2010, and...

Competition for playing time boosting Bears
The bench players that general manager Phil Emery added to the Bears in the offseason did more than improve depth. They improved the front line too. There is little doubt that more intense completion at cornerback, defensive end, defensive tackle,...

Bears' pass rush making all the difference
The popular joke when the Bears traded for Jay Cutler in 2009 was that they fleeced the Broncos by including two first-round draft picks because such selections were worthless in Chicago. The trade simply spared the Bears the indignity of making even more...

Cutler off the mark against Rams
The Bears didn't need Jay Cutler to be on his game to win Sunday, and it's a good thing. Cutler usually is a pretty accurate passer, but his throws frequently were not where they should have been against the Rams. He completed 54.8 percent of his...

McCown just doesn't fit on Bears roster
On Thursday, Josh McCown was a hero. On Friday, he was holding a large garbage bag full of whatever belongings had been in his Halas Hall locker. The reason McCown no longer is a Bear is he is neither as good as Jason Campbell nor as young as Matt...

Jaguars give Bears defense chance to shine
It doesn't look like a fair fight. The Bears, fresh off an explosive blowout victory over the Cowboys on the national stage, against the Jaguars, who've been outscored 54-17 at EverBank Field and are 1-3. I'm going to spare the "any given Sunday" caution...

Four downs: Cutler fades again in spotlight
1. Not up for prime time It didn't take long in a nationally televised game for pundits to fire on Jay Cutler. That is what happens when you don't throw touchdowns but do fire daggers at teammates with stare-downs and scowls. The most heat Cutler has...

Season has earmarks of Urlacher's swan song
Pardon me if I'm a smidge disjointed with this one. I have had no experience writing about a Bears offense with players at the skilled positions who are capable of taking a team to a Super Bowl. And I have no memory of a Bears defense that appears to...
